Growing up, I was a Girl Scout. In fact, I was a Girl Scout from when I was 5 to when I was 18. And I am so grateful for that experience because one of the things it taught me was camping. Not the glorious RV type of camping – we didn’t […]

We started this series for the teachers and parents of students with special needs. Last week, we introduced you the IEP- Individual Education Plan- program. If you are a parent of a student who has an IEP, understanding Individual Education Plans can help you to help your family […]
